XBT/XCTD stations between Prydz Bay and Freemantle

Ongoing

| 10W XBT Section |
This continues a line that BAS has been making for a few years now (~5); targeted really at producing a time series of upper ocean heat content and stratification in the Weddell Gyre. This is the area that the giant Weddell Polynya occupied in the 1970s, so there is great interest in monitoring this region of ocean to understand more about the heat budget, and when/if the Polynya will return. (Properties measured: temperature, depth.) |

| SURVOSTRAL |
A high density XBT line between Tasmania
and Antarctica (IX28) has been occupied at least six times per austral summer
since 1993. as part of the joint US-France-Australia SURVOSTRAL project.
|
Ongoing |
| Ship of Opportunity
Programme (SOOP) |
SOOP is directed primarily towards the continued operational maintenance and coordination of the low-density XBT network developed by TOGA and WOCE.

2003-2007 |
| Italian New Zealand to Antarctica Section |
A high density XBT line between New Zealand and Antarctica (P14S WOCE section) has been occupied 22 times (up to Jan 2006) during the austral summer since 1994 as part of the Italian "CLIMA" project. |
Started 1994. Ongoing (funded through 2004) |
